Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for generating concept hierarchies in response to a user request to produce a hierarchy of concepts from a first concept set by performing a natural language processing (NLP) analysis comparison of the vector representations of the concepts in the first concept set to determine a similarity measure for each pair of distinct concepts Ci and Cj in the first concept set, and to construct therefrom a concept hierarchy based on one or more specified hierarchy parameters and the similarity measure for each pair of distinct concepts Ci and Cj in the first concept set.
